In French, many English words are used as is because they cannot be literally translated (or it would sound bad). In the case of Facebook, the word "Like" is the same in French as well. There are a couple of ways to say this sentence.
1) Donnez-nous un "Like" sur Facebook, which is a pretty word-by-word translation of your original sentence.
2) "Likez" notre page Facebook, which means "Like our Facebook page". In this case, "Likez" is conjugated as a French word. In French, when they use an English verb, they conjugate it as a typical verb from the first verb group (ending in -er)
Another thing people do often is use quotation marks around anglicisms. I personally don't but I used them in that sentence because anglicism is not really considered proper French. It's your choice, really, and it depends on the setting.

@HiroTraveler I completely forgot though, some people do translate the word but I think it's region specific. In France I think it's a bit more common than in Canada (personally never heard it here) but some people do translate "Like" to "J'aime" or the verb itself, aimer.
So 1) Donnez-nous un "j'aime" sur Facebook
or 2) Aimez notre page Facebook.
But saying "Like" if people know you're talking about Facebook is better.
